Migration Behavior
◦ Dashboards will be transferred to the new user with the same name.
◦ If a dashboard is added to new owner, it will not be activated
Here are additional details to know, broken down per user types:
◦ Original dashboard owner
◦ The dashboard becomes an add dashboard (copy by reference). Any changes the new owner makes to the dashboard will be reflected on their copy of the dashboard.
◦ New dashboard owner
◦ If user was a consumer of original dashboard via “add” - The dashboard is now editable. Any changes made will be reflected to all consumers of the dashboard.
◦ If user was not a consumer of original dashboard - A new dashboard will be added to the “dashboard list”. The dashboard is not active by default.
◦ All other users
◦ If user was a consumer of original dashboard via “add” - No change. Changes made by the new owner will continue to be reflected in the dashboard.
◦ If was not a consumer of original dashboard - Not applicable. Dashboard changes do not affect this user.
Defining what copy and add dashboards are:
◦ Add - A dashboard that was added by pressing “add”. This is a reference to the original dashboard. Any changes made to the original will be reflected on any dashboard that was added via “add”.
◦ Copy - A dashboard that was added by pressing “copy”. This is considered a snapshot of the dashboard at the time the copy was made. There is no connection to the original dashboard, the user who pressed “copy” is the owner of the dashboard.
